Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks have collaborated on four films over the years, with 1998’s “Saving Private Ryan” becoming by far their most successful. This World War II blockbuster, which featured a bloody and dramatic reenactment of the D-Day landings at Normandy, was the highest-grossing film in America in 1998, regardless of MPAA ranking. Even more shocking is how well “Saving Private Ryan” performed with overseas viewers, who added an additional $265 million to the film’s global gross.
